A Seasonal Library of Grief Magic Resources and a Blessing from the May Queen

Inside: Reflections on remembering the wisdom of our bodies and our capacity to orient towards pleasure and ease, even and especially in times of grief… + an invitation to watch the replay of our Spring Ritual with Danica Boyce and join a seasonal library of Grief Magic Resources!

A blessing from the May Queen

This week,

Danica Boyce

led our grief magic course in a Spring ritual of song and a visualization practice in which we received blessings from the May Queen. This Queen glowed. She moved with ease and pleasure and empowerment.

In this Queen’s presence, I felt the tension and dread in my body loosen its grip. I felt the ease she embodied wash over me. I smelled honey suckle. I heard her say: Yes, follow that. Follow what feels alive, pleasurable, right. Set down what isn’t for you.

I immediately started crying.

As someone who writes about and facilitates spaces for being with both pleasure and grief, I know the importance of honoring the “yes’s” and “no’s” and “yes and’s” in my body. I know the importance of orienting towards breath, ease, pleasure.

But in an embodied way, it’s easy to lose this thread. I need the blessings, I need the embodied reminders. I need different ways into integrating this wisdom of orienting towards what my body knows.

All of us do.

There is so much about our world that conditions us to power through what isn’t for us -

to stay in relationships that are not for us,

to stay in jobs that are not for us,

to stay on paths that are not for us,

to stay in dynamics which constantly try to deny and undermine the knowing and needs of our animal bodies.

We are conditioned to deny the truths our bodies carry, to stay in situations in which we abandon ourselves daily.

While I believe in the importance of learning to stay with what’s hard about our world and being alive, I also believe wholeheartedly in the importance of staying with what’s pleasurable and easeful. And we can only do both well by NOT abandoning the truths our bodies carry, by NOT abandoning ourselves.

We need ways to stay with the world AND with our own experiences.

There are infinite ways to recall our power.

There are infinite ways to remember the power of our beating hearts, to return to what makes us feel deeply alive and connected and resourced.

You don’t need a class or a workshop to remember your body’s wisdom and power, but it can be helpful to not have to search for resources, reminders, practices all on your own.

I created Grief Magic’s self paced library for those who want an ecosystem of support in their grief tending, magical, and creative practices.

We are ecological, cyclical, magical, creative, grieving, joyous, and powerful beings living under systems which tell us we are none of these things.

We need multitudes of support in remembering ourselves beyond the stories oppressive systems condition us into, and in telling stories that are far more alive and enlivening!

Discounted through May 20th!

I’ve poured a lot of love, time, and intention into this seasonal library of resources and I feel deeply that it needs to be out and about in the world, within reach for as many people who need access to this. This is my lowest priced offering at $35 a month or $350 for the year if you get in before the end of Taurus season. There are also scholarships available for those in need- just DM me!
